The list of people who have assisted Dirk Nowitzki on a shot is undoubtedly really long, and full of really weird names. I would only be 50 percent surprised to find that Mark Cuban was on it. Kyle Collinsworth is definitely on it now, if he wasn’t before, which he probably was. I don’t know,…

It’s a sad time to be living in when Dirk Nowitzki’s season high in points is just 23, considering that he played seven straight seasons where he averaged 23 points per game or more. Then again, it’s also a happy time to be living in when 39-year-old Dirk Nowitzki can continue to give us vintage…

Dirk Nowitzki is having the best three-point shooting season of his career. If that tidbit was too obscure for you, here’s another one: he’s really old. Those two facts are an unusual combo in the NBA. There was a point in his career, right around when I really started caring about the NBA, that he…

As of yesterday night, Kyle Collinsworth officially has a new entry to put on his resume: “-Assisted a Dirk Nowitzki dunk. Nowitzki was 39 years old at the time of the dunk.” You know you threw a good pass when Dirk, who barely dunks anything anymore because he can barely dunk, has no choice but…

When Dirk Nowitzki heard his doorbell ring, he strongly considered not even getting up from his couch. It was only when he remembered that he had a large shipment of German meat products arriving soon, a shipment that he would have to sign for, did he slowly lift his tall body off the comfortable sofa…

Since learning of the free-agency curse which afflicted the Dallas Mavericks, due to the construction of the American Airlines Center defiling a 1600’s-era Catholic missionary, Dirk Nowitzki found that he could no longer sleep.

Dirk Nowitzki stealthily made his way to the furthest corner of the American Airlines Center. Here, there was a forbidden door; he opened it and proceeded down the stairs that were revealed to him: the stairs that led to the remnants of the old Spanish mission upon which the arena had been built. Dirk wandered…

A real gem here. Quality highlights of this guy are hard to find, and for good reason. Dirk Nowitzki managed to stick in the league just for a few years, only starting around 10 of the games where he didn’t get a DNP, which was often. Despite the predraft hype surrounding him, he was just…

(Description is a continuation of this season’s first video: https://youtu.be/I196J8Ev63I ) Walking around my apartment, which has somehow been modified to ignore the rules of spaciality, I engage in conversation with the hundreds of NBA role players which currently occupy it. They have been here the whole season, keeping me company while I compiled their…

Dirk Nowitzki sat down at his desk, finally having made himself ready for this task of greatest import. Getting out the flamboyant feather pen that he kept around for occasions such as these, he looked at the blank parchment in front of him, wondering if he would know what to write. He had never been…
